Need intercept orders for Moscow
Time to lay some smack down!
Slight change, bringing all the mech/tanks I can against Baltic states, so you’ll see an additional 3 tanks from E Poland and another mech from Romania.
-
Intercept with both fighters
That way you can shoot down both my planes with snake eyes and then do 20 damage
-
Wait
-
Yeah, send 'em up to intercept
You’re going to have to earn your damage -

Whew!
SBR’s are stressful
-
Apparently 2 dead Jap bombers are greater than 3 German ones. It took 3 bombers and they didn’t do the same amount of damage and one got shot down in the process. :oops:
-
Whew!
SBR’s are stressful
Yeah, I know! I know that the +2 damage means that bombers should theoretically cause more damage than I lose on SBRs . . . but man I always breathe a sigh of relief when red dice don’t show up for interceptors and ack ack. I’m just glad bombers came back and I at least equaled the damage for the loss of the bomber. I’ve had too many runs where I send 7 bombers out at different targets and have 5 of them shot down. (true story)
And hey look, SBR first. I done good. :wink:
-
@seththenewb:
And hey look, SBR first. I done good. :wink:
I noticed! I’m pleased.
Yeah, it’s hard to beat perfection.
Double miss on AA and then double sixes (fancy that)Bomb run on Moscow close to average - a bit in my favor since your bombers missed me, you lost a bomber on a 42% chance, but then got slightly above average damage rolls… (average of 4,4)
So we’re both happy we averted disaster… I’m thrilled to have 2 fighters still alive for counter-attacks…I think I can sneak in this Russian move quick, here…
-
'bout freaking time I hit a tech (referring to Wheatbeer game also)
Kind of a weak one, though…
-
What’d you get?
-
Ah, improved mech. I’d take that no question.
I’m assuming you didn’t get Hvy Bombers since some of that chart would be just useless for you. Still chart 2 does have some good ones … . but probably chart one is the right call for USSR.
-
Yeah, and even though the increase attack power is negligible in all practicality, the ability to blitz could come in handy
A tech hit is a tech hit, I always say. If I hit again I’ll get something better.
-
Was the rest of Russia coming or were you mulling that over still?
-
Need casualty choice in West Ukraine
4 hits scored -
dump aa gun, keep best D, lose art last.
Whenever I stick aa guns out like that, assume I will lose them first.
-
Great, because if you kept your AA gun until last, I couldn’t hit and run and I would be dead meat in West Ukraine
Thanks for making the wrong decision :-D -
Wait . . . maybe I misunderstood the rules. You can keep the retreat, I won’t try to stick you on that because that wouldn’t be classy.
But, why would you HAVE to stay another round if it was just the AA gun?
-
That unit might have a defense of zero and I could see how it’d just die if you stayed. But wouldn’t you still have the option of continuing the attack or retreating? They’re not like transports in that they can be taken as a casualty, so technically they wouldn’t automatically die in that first round if they were the last survivor right?
-
You can’t retreat from units with no defense value
I didn’t realize it until I got 4 hits and it was casualty choice time, so I had to ask you.
Fair enough, that we both missed it.
But remember that for future reference - you can’t retreat from only AA guns, so you could trap your opponent on an intended hit and run by saving the AA gun(s) until last!
